Clash of the Champions XII carries a few different titles but its an action packed 10 matches in two hours. Headlining is Sting taking on The Black Scorpion who continues to play psychological war games against the newly crowned World Champion. Lex Luger must defend his US Title against Ric Flair, and there's plenty more for us to talk about. Please continue to follow on social media (FB: New Blood Rising Podcast, Twitter: @newbloodpod).

Season 5 kicks off with a bang as we begin our journey from Sting to Hogan at Great American Bash ’90 where there a few familiar faces from our previous seasons. And, in typical New Blood fashion, we have another appearance from our friend Booger Red in the few months before he would begin his journey as one of the greatest WWE superstars of all time. How does Sting vs. Pic Flair hold up all of these years later? Keep the conversation going on Facebook and Twitter and please leave a rating/review on iTunes.

Well, we have arrived at the end of Season 4 and our look at The Undertaker's run at WrestleMania. After our last episode with the apex of The Streak, it was only fitting that we come crashing back to earth with the end, starting with Undertaker's memorable job to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX, followed by his subsequent battles against Bray Wyatt, Shane McMahon, and Roman Reigns. We also get into what Season 5 entails for the podcast. Please continue to follow us on Twitter (@newbloodpod) and Facebook (New Blood Rising Podcast)! Thanks for listening to Season 4!

It's a mega episode. It's the one we've been tracking towards since Season 4 began with The Undertaker at WrestleMania. It's the double pack of Shawn Michaels and Triple H (25, 26, 27, 28) and we wrap it up with CM Punk at WrestleMania 29. This might be the most memorable pack of Undertaker matches on the biggest stage of them all. How well does WM 25 hold up after all of these years? Hear the conundrum of "stay down," stay for William and his brother-in-law recounting the WM 27 live experience, and enjoy the experiment of putting Taker and Steve Austin in a scene from Clerks. Oh, and let's not forget the special guest host as well! Enjoy, thank you for downloading, and if you can, please leave a rating/review on iTunes.

It's a two-man pod this week with William and Charlie charting through one of Undertaker's most important pack of WrestleMania matches. We are looking at Undertaker vs. Randy Orton (XXI), Mark Henry (XXII), Batista (XXIII), and Edge (XXIV) with Taker back in full Dead Man persona. We all know what's coming down the road in terms of Undertaker at WrestleMania but these four matches can't be ignored. Lots to discuss on this one. Please continue to follow on Twitter and Facebook and feel free to email us at newbloodrisingpod@gmail.com!

The next installment of Season 4 brings us to ABA/Booger Red WrestleMania matches for The Undertaker (X7, X8, XIX) and the return of The Deadman (XX). Definitely it is a case of two highly regarded matches and two, well, not so much. But how does The Undertaker progress through this period? Please rate/review on iTunes and follow us on social media (@newbloodpod)

We're back starting off with the Undertaker at WrestleMania XII and covering his matches through WrestleMania XV. Quite an interesting batch that seems to be on the ascent in terms of quality but then falls off the cliff by the time we get to Hell in a Cell at WrestleMania XV. It's interesting revisiting "the moment" that occurs at the end of that one. Please continue to rate/review on iTunes and follow on social media (Twitter: @newbloodpod, Facebook: New Blood Rising Podcast).

And thus another season has begun, and fittingly based on what you've heard in seasons 1 -3, we are now covering exclusively The Undertaker and his matches at Wrestlemania. The build, the match, and the legacy. Up first in Episode I will be the beginning of the Undertaker on the biggest stage of them all. We will chronicle his battles against Superfly Jimmy Snuka, Jake Roberts, Giant Gonzalez, and King Kong Bundy. Please continue to follow us on Twitter and Facebook! It's going to be a fun season!

We had wanted to do this type of episode, but to go through every episode of the podcast was becoming a tall order. Thanks to Phillip Goad and his unbelievable feat of listening to all 100 episodes in 3 weeks, we have a compilation show. The road to 100 has been paved with a lot of fun, laughs, and sometimes the darkest of jokes. But I don't think we would have had it any other way. Looking forward now to Season 4 in a few weeks!

We made it! 100 episodes of a podcast that started as just a review of Russo Era WCW. Fast forward two and half years and we are at the season finale of our run through all of the ECW ppvs. Not the greatest of finales but it beats December to Dismember. It's TNA's Hardcore Justice: The Final Stand. Then, we get into some nostalgia, talking about the origins of the show and all of the twists and turns and changes that have come since Halloween Havoc '99. Don't forget to keep following us on Twitter (@newbloodpod) and Facebook (New Blood Rising Podcast). Thank you all for all of the support to help get us to 100! Oh, and get ready for Season 4!

Well, they all can't be winners, now can they? Episode 99 of the podcast takes us to Augusta, Georgia where WWE/ECW bring us December to Dismember. What will happen in the Extreme Elimination Chamber Match? Are the Hardy Boys still wrestling MNM? No really, are they still wrestling because it might be the longest match ever.

Here we are, one year later from One Night Stand '05, and now we are on the eve of the revival of ECW in WWE. Episode 98 takes us back to Hammerstein where Rob Van Dam looks to unseat John Cena as the WWE Champion while Sabu looks to do the same to "World Champion" Rey Mysterio. We also get into some ECW on SyFy talk as a new chapter begins in WWE history.

It is June of 2005 and ECW has returned...for one night only...for now. It's One Night Stand '05, and the wrestling world is caught up in a wave of nostalgia since WWE released the Rise and Fall of ECW DVD in 2004. William, Jason, Charlie, and Martin catch up with old friends from Season 3 and see if Mike Awesome vs. Masato Tanaka can deliver one more time in a fun reunion show for ECW. It's a hell of an episode, probably the darkest comedically that we have ever released. Please continue to follow us on Twitter and Facebook as we get closer to episode 100!

It's episode 96 of the podcast, we have reached an important moment in season 3 as we are at the end of ECW Prime: The Paul Heyman Years. It's Guilty as Charged '01, and there's a feeling of the end in the air, but it's by no means a lay up show as we get to see one last time, Rob Van Dam, returning to ECW, taking on Jerry Lynn. And Rhino is on the prowl, literally without his ECW TV title, threatening to wreak havoc in New York. Please continue to rate/review on iTunes and follow us on social media (Twitter: @newbloodpod, Facebook: New Blood Rising Podcast).

And an extreme Christmas to you too! ECW hits Hammerstein Ballroom to bring us a new ppv: Massacre on 34th Street. Rhino defends his ECW TV Title against Spike Dudley while the ECW World Title is up for grabs in a three way dance with Steve Corino, Jerry Lynn, and Justin Credible.

Into November of 2000 we forge with, fittingly, November to Remember '00 where we will be subjected to Double Jeopary as the ECW World Title will be on the line simultaneously, so to speak, between Justin Credible and, champion, Jerry Lynn as well as The Sandman and Steve Corino with the winner each match taking on each other. And with this show, we say goodbye to a major part of season 3's review of ECW! Please continue to follow us on Twitter, @newbloodpod, and on Facebook, New Blood Rising Podcast!

It’s an impressive double main event as we move into episode 93 of podcast in season 3. It’s ECW Anarchy Rulz ’00, and Rob Van Dam is poised to regain the belt he never actually lost in a Television Title match against Rhyno.

Into the summer of 2000 we forge as inch closer and closer to episode 100. ECW invades Los Angeles, and it might not be the only company invading by the time we get to the main event that pits Tommy Dreamer against ECW World Champion Justin Credible in a Stairway to Hell match. Also, Rob Van Dam is poised to debut a new finisher called the Van Terminator. What is it? Scotty Anton will find out as the two former friends clash.

As if it was a Star Wars opening crawl: Mike Awesome has disappeared. Thus a new reign has begun at the top of ECW with Justin Credible as the new ECW World Champion...But the Impact Players are exploding tonight as Lance Storm is now challenging for that same title. And one year since their epic encounter at Hardcore Heaven '99, Jerry Lynn and Rob Van Dam go one on one again only a few months after RVD's leg injury.

We are into March of 2000 in our ECW timeline and we are on the verge of crowning a new ECW TV Champion in the wake of Rob Van Dam's injury that forced him to vacate the title he held for nearly 2 years. Not to mention, in an unlikely 3-Way dance for the ECW Tag Team Titles, champions Mike Awesome and Raven (?!) defend against Tommy Dreamer/Masato Tanaka and the Impact Players.

The wrestling changed forever on July 7, 1996 when The Outsiders, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, revealed (or rather he revealed himself) the mystery 3rd member of their group invading WCW. No one could have predicted that Hulk Hogan would have dropped the leg on Randy Savage and called the formation of him, Nash, and Hall the New World Order of professional wrestling. The rest, as they say, is history. This week, we celebrate the 20 years that have passed since that fateful day at Bash at the Beach, looking at the seeds of the NWO, the members, the controversy, the fall, the rise, and the fall again. As we're closing in on the end of Season 2 of the New Blood Rising Podcast, this is an interesting call back to Season 1 and leads pleasantly well into what is to come nearing the end of our 2002 run.
